Your only "mistake" in this whole deal was in your wording .. .. if you

Let's say you have a 1x6 that is 5-1/2" wide and you need it to be
5-1/4, so you decide to use the table saw to do it. The thick blade's
kerf is going to remove the material with no cut-off left behind.

Is that not still a rip cut?

(not arguing)
No more a "rip" cut than if you removed 1/4" on a jointer .. .. just
semantics.
